    A VPN is only as much of a security improvement as the service behind it. If it gets installed in a shady way, how much trust can you put into the service?

      This was my point exactly. A VPN may just as well be used to spy on your traffic rather than secure it. And that’s why I’d be upset, personally: because I don’t trust brave or the company behind it.

      But I think the main thing people are up in arms about is the fact that they didn’t ask for it. :)
